Usage:

Delta T-Flow Relationship

Piping Design - Flow Relationships

Recommended Coolant Velocities

Jacket Water: 2-8 FT./SEC. (0.6-2.5 M/SEC.)

Sea Water: 2-6 FT./SEC. (0.6-1.9 M/SEC.)

Maximum Fresh Water Velocities for 3600 Engines

Pressurized Lines: 14.8 FT./SEC.) (4.5 M/SEC.) Max.

Suction Lines: 4.9 FT./SEC. (1.5 M/SEC.) Max.

Pipe Dimensions - Standard Iron Pipe

Resistance of Valves and Fittings to Flow of Fluids

This chart is for illustrative purposes only. Do not attempt to use this for measurement. Refer to Application Installation Guides for full scale measurements.

Flow Restriction of Fittings Expressed as Equivalent Feet of Straight Pipe

Strainers:

As a general rule of thumb, strainers should be of adequate capacity to create no more than 1.5-2.0 psi (10-14 kPa) of pressure drop under clean strainer conditions at maximum flow.

pH Scale for Coolant Mixture

Temperature Regulators

New Temperature Regulators - 1330, 1355; 3606 (8RB), 3608 (6MC), 3612 (9RC), 3616 (1PD) Industrial Engines

The 3600 Family of Engines has three sets of temperature regulators. The regulators are the jacket water (JW) inlet control, the oil cooler and aftercooler (O/C and A/C) inlet control, and the oil cooler oil temperature control. The chart identifies the new and former regulators. The recommended service hours of temperature regulators is every 6000 service meter hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Diagnostic Tooling

Self-Sealing Probe Adapters:

Coolant Expansion Rates

As a rule of thumb, expansion tanks should have a capacity of 16% of the total system coolant volume for expansion plus reserve.

Densities of Liquids [at 60°F (16°C)]

Supplemental Coolant Additive (Conditioner or Inhibitor)

Caterpillar recommends using antifreeze in the coolant mixture to get maximum life from cooling system components. 30% is minimum recommendation.
